According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a display, a support part which supports the display, and an opposed part which is opposed to at least part of the support part at a side opposite to the display. The electronic apparatus also includes a rotator which includes a first end part and a second end part that is located opposite to the first end part. The rotator is rotatable between a first position where the second end part is positioned between the support part and the opposed part and a second position which is different from the first position. The electronic apparatus also includes a control part which abuts against the rotator that is located in the first position and is capable of stopping rotation of the rotator.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A television stand comprising: a main body; a band including (i) a first end part that comprises an attached part attached to the main body; and (ii) a second end part located opposite to the first end part, the band being rotatable around the attached part between a first position where the second end part is superposed on the main body and a second position where the second end part projects outside of the main body, the first end part including a tip portion which projects outside of the main body when the band is held in the first position, and the second end part being adapted for placement into a fixed state subsequent to the band being placed in the second position; a hook being provided in the main body and positioned closer to the second end part of the band than the first end part when the band is in the first position, the hook including a holding part that holds the band in the first position; and a stopper part that is configured to (i) strike the band when the band rotates into the first position, and (ii) stop rotation of the band upon the strike of the band; and a projection being provided at the main body and located between the attached part and the hook, the projection abutting against the band and bending the band such that the second end part of the band is pushed against the holding part of the hook when the band is rotated to the first position, wherein the holding part is shorter than the band in a width direction of the band, wherein a bottom part of the main body is provided with a depressed part, the depressed part including the attached part when the band is in the first position, and wherein the main body is provided with a plurality of projecting parts which projects from the depressed part, the plurality of projecting parts gradually rising from a line and passing through the attached part and the hook toward a direction perpendicular to the line.
2. The television stand of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of projecting parts is provided laterally from close to the attached part.
3. The television stand of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of projecting parts is provided laterally from the hook and in front of the hook as viewed from the attached part.
4. The television stand of claim 1 , wherein the band is provided with a long hole, the long hole extends in a longitudinal direction of the band, the attached part includes a screw attached to the bottom part of the main body, and the screw is made to pass through the long hole.
5. The television stand of claim 1 , wherein the band further serves as a screen of a label which is bonded to the bottom part.
6. The television stand of claim 1 , further comprising: a second stopper part which projects from the bottom part, strikes on the band that is in the second position when the band in the second position rotates in the other of the clockwise direction and the counterclockwise direction, and stops rotation of the band in the other direction.
7. The television stand of claim 1 wherein the main body is configured to support a display panel elevated over a surface of a television support element.
8. The television stand of claim 7 , wherein the band, when placed in the second position, is placed into the fixed state by affixing the second end part of the band to the television support element to prevent the display panel from falling.
9. The television stand of claim 8 , wherein the television support element is a television rack.
10. The television stand of claim 8 , wherein the band is placed into the fixed state by affixing the second end part of the band to the television support element.
